More about the book

Focusing on the complexities of teaching history in conflict-ridden societies, this book analyzes how narratives of the past often reinforce national identities while marginalizing opposing viewpoints. Through ethnographic studies from Cyprus and Israel, it examines classroom dialogues, texts, and ceremonies, addressing the challenges educators face in conveying historical trauma. The authors discuss the potential for pedagogical strategies to foster reconciliation, emphasizing how identity and memory can either entrench or challenge simplistic notions of peace and conflict.
